Behind the Scenes with Maria Myles

Sexy, Silly, or Sacred?

Dad’s about to embark on his annual Singing for Supper tour to raise donations for New Brunswick’s foodbanks. The big dilemma? Choosing the Christmas carols to include in the holiday set! It’s a surprisingly difficult task. There seem to be three types: traditional, religious songs (Silent Night), fun-loving kids songs (Frosty), and then there are the turtleneck-wearing, eggnog-drinking crooner numbers (Chestnuts Roasting). Some tunes blur the lines too: have you ever heard Lou Rawls sing Little Drummer Boy? A bit too steamy for these infant ears! So what’s a guy to do? Go sexy, silly, or sacred?
